Industrial grid power output Finland

The power system is expanding, driven by wind and solar power

However, by 2030, the goal is for wind power to produce half of Finland''s electricity, with solar power contributing 5–10 per cent. Power plants, transmission lines, substations and connections are now being built at a brisk pace. Over the next ten years, Fingrid will invest up to EUR 4 billion in the main grid.

Electricity sector in Finland

The national grid operator Fingrid, together with TSOs from other Nordic countries, produces yearly estimates about the availability of power in the winter demand peak. In 2019-2020 they estimated a peak Finnish demand of 15.3 GW, during which Finland would have 11.9 GW of production capacity, not including capacity reserves.

National Report on electricity and gas markets in Finland

Energy crisis started in autumn 2021 calmed down in 2023. Increased wind power generation capacity and the new Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant commissioned in April 2023 have improved electricity self-sufficiency in Finland, and in 2023 Finland was for the first time even a net ex-porter of electricity on a weekly basis.

How many power plants are there in Finland?

the number of power plants in Finland. In Finland, there are approximately 120 energy companies producing electricity and about 400 power plants, more than half of which are hydroelectric power plants. Finland’s electricity generation is fairly distributed compared with many other European countries.

How does Fingrid reduce import capacity of Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant?

However, when Olkiluoto 3 nuclear power plant is operating with capacity of above 1,000 MW, Fingrid reduces available import capacity from the Northern Sweden (SE1) to Finland by 300 MW. Installed capacity between Finland and Central Sweden (SE3) is 1,200 MW for both export and import.

How is Fingrid connected to Estonia?

Finland is also connected to Estonia by HVDC transmission links. The joint Nordic system is also connected to the Central European system by HVDC transmission links. Fingrid participates in ENTSO-E, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity. Main grid

Does Finland have a nuclear power plant?

As part of the energy transition Finland has been replacing electricity generation from fossil fuels with nuclear power and renewables. Wind power in particular has grown to be a significant part of electricity generation. A fifth nuclear reactor, Olkiluoto 3 was commissioned in 2023 and increased nuclear power generation by over 50%.
